Lemon Ginger Drop Cookies

I love lemon.I love ginger.I love cookies.

So much promise.

I made these Lemon Ginger Drop Cookies from the Martha Stewart empire. They use lemon zest and crystallized ginger. You drop them onto the sheet, bake for 7 minutes, pull them out and sprinkle with sugar before popping them back in for another 7 minutes. Easy peasy.

However, even though they contain lots of my favorite ingredients, they didn't knock my socks off. But I like my flavors strong, so you might like the subtle flavors in these.

These look GREAT! I always add a few drops of lemon oil (I don't trust those "the best lemon cookie/cake" recipes). You can never have enough! I'm surprised Martha didn't come through... let's email her.

I've been wanting to make these! The only ingredient holding me back is the crystallized ginger, though I should make them anyway. Thanks for the tip about the subtle flavors -- I have lemon extract and will probably use it here along with extra ginger.
